SOURCE: SOCIALPSYCHOLOGY.ORGTITLE: White House Scrubs Gender-Based Bullying From Civil Rights Survey
Source: PBS News Hour
The Trump administration this week quietly released an update to a major survey on civil rights in schools that removed all data related to nonbinary students or bullying based on gender identity. The numbers come from the Education Department's Civil Rights Data Collection, a survey of nearly every public school in the nation. The release this week covers the 2023-2024, when the survey included "nonbinary" as a gender category alongside male...

The justices are expected to decide in coming months whether to take up the case, which is being closely watched as conservatives…work to expand #religious “rights” [ #Christian #evangelism ] in public spaces & opponents battle them in court. In April, a conservative appeals court upheld the law in a narrowly divided opinion.

I was a public school teacher for thirty years, and although I loved the children dearly, I would never enter such a homophobic profession the second time.

I used the 22-minute After School Special "THE HALLOWEEN THAT ALMOST WASN'T" starring Judd Hirsch and Mariette Hartley as a classroom Halloween treat every year during my career, following its release in 1979.

@jeffowski Now do #Math and #Chemistry teachers, too!
Maybe the decades long drop of standardized PISA test scores for students in #American #PublicSchools should be cause for alarm? 🤔
There’s a *reason* #Trump famously said “I *love* the poorly educated!” after he won his first primary during the #2016election in #Nevada. https://youtu.be/O9F6EAMPky4

Thanks to #MikeTipping, Proposed Tax on #Maine’s #Millionaires Lives to Fight Another Day
By Libby Palanza, June 26, 2025
"A proposed tax hike on Maine’s millionaires designed to increase funding for public pre-K-12 education has been carried over into the next legislative session – which is a small victory for the ‘#TaxTheRich’ crowd as the measure was looking at total defeat earlier this month.
"When the Legislature adjourned sine die Wednesday evening, lawmakers had yet to finalize their positions on a number of bills and resolutions introduced over the past few months. In turn, all outstanding legislation was carried over to the next special or regular session of the 132nd Legislature.
"Among these bills was #LD1089, sponsored by Rep. Cheryl A. Golek (D-Harpswell), that sought to impose a new two percent 'surcharge' on income earned over $1 million in Maine.
"The two percent tax would be applied only to the portion of a Mainer’s income that is above the $1 million threshold, meaning that everything up to that point would not be subject to this additional fee.
"The revenue collected from this tax could only be used to fund public pre-kindergarten through grade 12 #education. As is the case will all similar initiatives, however, future legislatures may pass bills allowing for all or some of these funds to be repurposed.
"It is for this reason that Rep. Gary A. Drinkwater (R-Milford) sought to amend Maine’s constitution to protect the funds collected for Maine’s new Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) program from being used for anything else in the future.
"An amended version of his bill directing the Maine Department of Labor (MDOL) to find the best method for protecting PFML revenue from being re-appropriated down the line.
"A late March public hearing on LD 1089 drew a great deal of testimony from both supporters and opponents of the Harpswell Democrat’s proposal to impose an additional tax on Mainers earning over $1 million.
"While those representing business and free market interests testified in opposition to the bill, representatives of municipal, educational, and social justice interests expressed support for the measure.
"Those arguing in support of the bill focused both on the need for additional state funding for #PublicSchools, as well as on the perceived fairness that this surcharge would create within Maine’s tax code.
"Opponents of LD 1089 argued that tax increases would be harmful to the state’s economy, have an outsized impact on entrepreneurs and businesses, and not necessarily improve public education as hoped.
"Following this public hearing, members of the Taxation Committee voted along partisan lines in support of this bill, with all Republicans opposing it and all Democrats favoring it."

I've done my bit for the American Labor Movement by walking the Picket Line for several weeks during teacher strikes in two different years. Strong Public Education equals a Strong USA. #labor #labormovement #americanlabormovement #laborforce #publicschools #picketline

In interviews in June 2020, when asked if she supported “defund the police,” #Harris focused on #PublicSafety.
“We need to reimagine how we are achieving public safety in America. To have cities where ⅓ of their entire budget is going to policing, but yet there is a dire need in those same cities for #MentalHealth resources, for #resources going into #PublicSchools, for resources going into #JobTraining & #JobCreation …We have to be honest about this.” -

#Proposition6, also known as #TheBriggsInitiative, was introduced in 1978 by #conservative #California #statesenator #JohnBriggs. This #initiative aimed to #ban #gays and #lesbians, and possibly their #supporters, from #working in California's #publicschools.
The measure was rooted in the #fear and #prejudice that #gay #teachers would negatively #influence #children and #promote the "#homosexuallifestyle."
